Why can a seven-year trading curve achieve zero drawdown? I’ve broken down this "profit-making logic."

Entering the market in 2018 with $2000, watching people around me get liquidated on futures, sell their houses and cars, my account kept rising—never experiencing more than 5% maximum drawdown. It’s not luck; it’s a supported methodology.

Many ask me for the secret, and it’s really just one sentence: replace emotional gambling with mathematical probability. No chasing hot trends, no relying on indicator secrets, no insider information—markets are a probability field, and you are the rule maker.

**First Trick: Lock in profits immediately and equip the principal with a protective shield**

Before opening a position, set stop-loss and take-profit orders—this is the baseline. When the position gains 8% of the principal, move 60% of the profit to a cold wallet, and only use the remaining "pure profit" to increase position size. This way, even if the market pulls back later, the principal remains safe. Many lose money out of greed—profits are given back, losses accumulate, and when emotions explode, they cut losses—by then, it’s too late.

**Second Trick: Watch multiple timeframes simultaneously and grasp two directions**

The weekly chart determines the overall trend, the daily chart finds support and resistance levels, and the 1-hour chart pinpoints precise entry points—these three timeframes are indispensable.

Key operation: open two orders for the same asset. Place a long order at support with a stop-loss below the weekly support level; place a short order at resistance, lurking in the oversold zone on the daily chart. Both stop-losses are controlled within 1% of the principal, and take-profit is set at over 6 times.

It sounds complicated, but it’s really hedging—since 90% of the market time is oscillation, while others get wiped out chasing rallies or selling dips, I can profit from both directions. During last year’s 40% crash of BTC, with some quick dips and shakeouts within 24 hours, I took both long and short profits, and my account increased by 55% in a single day. While most panic, I’m harvesting retail traders’ stop-losses.

**Third Trick: Stop-loss is the entry cost—use small risk for big opportunities**

Treat stop-loss as the cost of buying vegetables—spend 1% of the capital to gain the right to catch the main upward wave. When the market moves favorably, move the stop-loss to let profits run; if it moves against you, exit decisively without hesitation.

The benefit of this approach: my long-term win rate is only 35%, but the profit-to-loss ratio reaches 5.2:1. Mathematically, for every 1 dollar risked, I expect to earn 2.1 dollars. Over a year, just two main upward waves can significantly outperform any financial product.

**Three iron rules, one must not break:**

Divide your account into 15 parts, use at most 1 part per trade, and never hold more than 4 parts in total. This is the ceiling of leverage. After three consecutive losses, stop trading and rest—never open "emotional revenge trades." When the account doubles, withdraw profits, turning paper gains into real income.

Trading is like this—no need to be right every time; as long as the odds are high enough and discipline is strict, mathematics will do the work for you.
